kmilo problem
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 03 Sep '20

03 Sep '20

Hi all! Now it'me having an issue :) I use kmilo for the volume control on my thinkpads. But no matter what increment value I set in tdecontrol, the volume changes +- 10%. kmilodrc has "volumeStep=1" - but that value is ignored. Is there some other setting hidden somewhere for non-thinkpads that might interfer with kmilo?

An eMail solution
by Michael 03 Sep '20

So my friends, are you willing to spend ~$25 / year? No? Hit delete now... Yes? Then why put up with Google’s or any other web mail provider’s crap? Get a VPS: [1][2] $15-$20 / year Buy a domain: $8.56 / year (.com) $5.28 / year (.com.de) $4.28 / year (.top) $2.68 / year (.loan) * $2.68 / year (.men) * $2.68 / year (.party) * $2.68 / year (.stream) * $1.28 / year (.cyou) * * lol, make sure to buy 20 years upfront! !? There is no .woman? How sexist! Mail setup: Search Fu / Server Fault Use any Linux distribution you want, just make sure to add a root conrtab to auto-update nightly. As desired, I can share the bash script I use to setup an SSH tunnel to check mail with end to end encryption along with the KMail settings to support it.

An Entertaining Tale of Woe (and voodoo dolls)
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

One is never to old to learn... Or screw up. Ok so I'm still playing about with the Ideapad Flex 4. I reinstalled Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS distro and all the billions of packages I usually install. Then me own home built apps and scripts for multimedia stuff. Everything works, except the webcam, mic and touchscreen. The touchscreen is not hi on me list so I let it go for another day. The cam and mic, however, I need to help guide me crakmonkeys through whatever itblows nightmare they're on at the moment. This is, of course, the problem is the mic and webcam. Then it's the phone... Well, no matter what I did, I couldn't get either to work. I net searched, I load and unloaded mods, but nothing. I had sound, so why not the mic. Eventually I gave up. Annoyed by this, I went and got the Ali voodoo doll I made. I was about to poke it's wee head with a large pin when I noticed the camera button on the keyboard. "Hmm" I thought and press func and the cam button. Well silly me, it was off, as was the mic. I stabbed voodoo Ali anyway, but only once and put him away. The lesson here is to familiarize oneself with the machine and check the on off switches.

Login to your gmail via firefox or cliqz, stay there. Then try kmail again. Remember keep your web login active whilst using kmai.

[trinity-users] questions about upgrade to Beowulf/Buster - correction
by William Morder via trinity-users 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Okay guys, so I am stumped and confuzzled. I just did an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (= Debian Buster), and everything went fine; except once up and running, I couldn't download more than a few of Trinity's packages. After trying different repositories, and playing with my sources list, I managed to do just a bit better, then I saved the day with some extreme voodoo using about config [*I meant to say, apt-get* ... writing on auto-pilot] (scrolling through the manpages to find something that work). I ended up getting enough the Trinity packages to download by using --ignore-hold and dselect-upgrade options. I even searched out the links to deb packages on the developers' repositories, and downloaded them with wget, so that I could try forcing install using dpkg. Now at least (at last) I do have a working system which is a reasonable facsimile of my previous one, but it does seem like it ought to have been easier. For about the past three days now, I've lived in the command-line. Also I would like recommendations for a firewall that displays active connections and rules, etc., like the old Firestarter used to do. I catch all kinds of problems by noticing activity on my firewall, but now I cannot seem to find one that displays active connections, and Firestarter can no longer be hacked to make it work on a newer system. Thanks for any advice or comments, Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Project status report - summary
by Slávek Banko 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Hi all, in the previous e-mail, we made a trip into the history of the project. Now it's time for summary information about the current state of the project infrastructure. Note: For topics we need to discuss together you can wait for a subsequent e-mail with the Tasks chapter. However, it is useful for you to have an overview of the intrastructure of the project. -- Summary -- The project infrastructure currently consists of the following parts: 1. Tim's original infrastructure. This is maintained and donated by Tim. The problem here is that only Tim can manage it and as we know, it is very difficult to get hold of Tim. Here are still some services that will either be migrated to the new TDE box donated by Integricloud or will need to be abandoned. Example of that are bugzilla and mailing lists. We will discuss these services subsequently. 2. TDE box donated by Integricloud. This is a powerful machine on Power9 architecture, which is physically located in the Integricloud hosting center. Integricloud provides its operation as a donation for us. We have full remote access to this box and all its services. Thanks to this, there are more administrators who can do maintenance. Services from Tim's infrastructure are gradually being migrated to this box. The main site, wiki, cgit has already been migrated and the original SCM has been replaced by a second instance of gitea that sync with the main TGW on vpsFree. 3. TDE VPS donated by vpsFree.org. Here we do not have a complete physical machine, but one virtual machine. It is located in the hosting center used by vspFree.org, which provides its operation as a donation to us. We have full remote access to this vps. Thanks to this, there are more administrators who can do maintenance. Initially, the main redirector was located here. Then the cache for packages was added to optimize the publishing of new releases. Subsequently, new services that were not on Tim's original infrastructure were set up on this vps - TGW and TWTW. These services currently provide the backbone of project development. 4. Slavek's home server and builders. This infrastructure is maintained and provided by Slávek. Currently, the problem is that only Slávek can manage these machines. However, for now, this does not seem to be a major problem. Services are available, packages are built and Slávek can usually be contacted well. The primary archive is located here. And several builders that are used to build deb packages. These builders are virtual machines located on various physical machines, where the unused power of these physical machines is provided for building packages. For example, the builder for ppc64el packages is located on the TDE box from Integricloud. There is a plan to move the primary archive to a separate virtual machine and builders to a separate vpn network, where it will be possible to provide access to more administrators. 5. Mike's primary mirror and other mirrors. Mike manages and donates the primary mirror, which is used to synchronize packages from the primary archive. Additional mirrors are synchronized from this primary mirror. These mirrors are maintained and donated by their owners. 6. François repository of RPM packages. In addition to deb packages, there is François, who creates, builds and provides repositories for RPM packages. These RPM packages are regularly synchronized from the source maintained and donated by François to the primary archive and cache on the primary redirector. Well, now you have an overview of what infrastructure ensures that the project can exist and grow. You can look forward to a subsequent e-mail regarding the tasks we need to discuss and solve... stay tuned. Cheers -- Slávek

[trinity-users] Removable Media options
by J Leslie Turriff 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Is there an option in the Removable Media tool to open a new tab in Konqueror (instead of Open in New Window)? I don't recognize it if it's there. Alternatively, is there a way to Add such an option? Perhaps some sort of dcop message to Konqueror to open a tab?
